The global spectacle of football continues rolling on Tuesday, with action spanning across continents, leagues and cups to deliver another day packed with exciting fixtures.
With plenty of cup action set to take place throughout the day, we take a closer look at the standout fixtures and pick out our top tips and best booking code (odds at time of writing, 90 minutes only).
Eldense vs Valencia
La Liga side Valencia is set to face La Liga 2 Eldense in the Copa del Rey round of 32, and while the visitors will be strong favourites to progress, they are in a difficult moment that could provide the hosts with confidence of pulling off an upset.
The visitors are without a win in their last five outings, with three losses and two draws, leaving them in desperate need of a win to help build their confidence in the coming matches. However, the hosts are also struggling in the second division having won just one of their last seven, including losing two and drawing two of their last four matches.
With this, the visitors should show their superiority and secure a much-needed victory here.
Valencia to win, 2.14
Arsenal vs Newcastle United
Alexander Isak has been simply sensational so far this season, particularly in recent weeks after a slower start to the campaign. The striker has scored in all of his last seven English Premier League appearances, while he has netted nine in his last eight appearances across all competitions, leaving him in brilliant form heading into this one.
Arsenal may fancy themselves to shutout the striker given their impressive defensive record, but they have appeared vulnerable at times throughout the campaign. With Newcastle also hugely confident having won all of their last six matches, we believe the striker will get chances and get himself on the scoresheet here.
Alexander Isak to score anytime, 3.00
Sporting vs Porto
Sporting is set to take on rivals Porto on Tuesday evening in a gargantuan match-up in the Portuguese League Cup semi-finals.
After losing manager Ruben Amorim, Sporting suffered a dismal four-game losing streak, but they have recovered in recent matches with three wins and two draws from their last five outings.
As for Porto, they are without a defeat in their last seven heading into this game, including four successive victories, leaving them with plenty of confidence of securing a major victory over their rivals.
While we do expect a tight encounter between two of Portugal's biggest teams, Sporting have shown vulnerability since Amorim's departure, leading us to believe the visitors will win here.
